# `SearchMatchValueOperator` enum

Comparison operator of a where-clause leaf expression. The operators valid for a field are determined by its [SearchQuerySchemaFieldType](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/search-query-schema-field-type.html): text and boolean fields support EQ and NE; numeric and time fields support the full set.

## Values

| Enum Value | Description |
|---|---|
| `EQ` | The two values must be exactly equal. |
| `NE` | Not equal: matches objects whose value differs from the given value, including objects that do not have the field at all. For a field nested in an array of structs it matches objects with no instance equal to the value. |
| `LT` | Less-than operator: only valid for numeric and time expressions. |
| `GT` | Greater-than operator: only valid for numeric and time expressions. |
| `LTE` | Less-than-or-equal-to operator: only valid for numeric and time expressions. |
| `GTE` | Greater-than-or-equal-to operator: only valid for numeric and time expressions. |
